We'll have free hot chocolate and snacks for passersby who stop to pick up your literature. We're also going to have a bright sticker that has broad appeal and that everyone opposed to these wars can wear.
We're organizing an educational action that reaches the 100,000s of people who will be in Boston to celebrate First Night. We want to welcome them. We want to celebrate.
But we also want everyone to be fully conscious of the many wars:

President Obama plans to announce his plans for the Afghanistan war in a speech Wednesday night. According to press reports he is still evaluating three options, but the most favorable of the 3 options considered is a withdrawal of only 30,000 over 12 months. That option would still leave 70,000 US troops, 42,000 NATO troops, and 90,000 foreign contractors, in Afghanistan. It is a plan for continued war.

As millions of people across the Middle East and North Africa fight for freedom against tyrannical regimes, US warplanes bomb Libya with the stated aim of protecting civilians. But what are the real aims of our government's intervention? How do they relate to its wars and other policies in the Middle East? And what can those of us inspired by the democratic uprisings do to help?
